Safety

Our workplace safety program is a top priority at MCC. We want MCC to be a safe and healthy place for employees, customers, and visitors. Our Program Directors are responsible for implementing, administering, monitoring, and evaluating the safety program. A successful safety program depends on everyone being alert and committed to safety.

We regularly communicate in different ways with employees about workplace safety and health issues. These communications may include supervisor-employee meetings, bulletin board postings, memos, or other written communications.

Employees and supervisors receive workplace safety training. The training covers possible safety and health hazards as well as safe work practices and procedures to eliminate or reduce hazards.

Some of the best safety improvement ideas come from employees. If you have an idea, concern, or suggestion on how to improve safety in the workplace, tell your supervisor, another supervisor, or the Program Director. We want you to know that you can report any concerns about workplace safety without fear of reprisal.

You are expected to obey all safety rules and be careful at work. You must immediately report any unsafe condition to the appropriate supervisor. If you violate MCC safety standards, you may be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment. Violations include causing a hazardous or dangerous situation, not reporting a hazardous or dangerous situation, and not correcting a problem even though you could have corrected it.

It is very important that you tell your Program Director or the appropriate supervisor immediately about any accident that causes an injury, no matter how minor it might seem at the time. When you report it quickly, we can investigate the accident promptly, follow the laws, and start insurance and worker's compensation processing.
